TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1858
John S. balmy, the Horse-Turner.
During the present year, though little more
than half of it has elapsed, Mr. J. S. BARMY,
the American horse-tamer, has contrived to
make himself ono of the best known men in
those portions of Europe respectively under
The sovereign rule of Queen Vicroau I. and
the Emperor Neroxvoit 111. We understand
that Mr. Rasar comes from Ohio, where be
tamed horses, and gave instructions in the
art. It Is declared that he did not originato
all the art, but that ho systemized it. If not a
man of genius, ho has no ordinary share of
tact, talent, and shrewdness.
' Successful in Ohio and Texas, he visited Eng
land, where he was so fortunate as to interest
the editor of The Times in his favor. Those
great borse-dealers, the Messrs. Tarrzasaitt,
also were made acquainted with his preten
sions, and subjecting them to the proof, be
came assured that ho .ivas titian of.
, note and mark.:3Bitetediltermilited - rumors
1 of.hfortnakable pewers. The Times holdly
announced them. The rest Of the press soon
folloWed the lead. To a seloetfew some pri
vate exhibitions of skill were made, find the
spectators went away, finite astonished; and
bent on mysteriously whispering his praises,
each In his own circle. Every where there
was a rumor of the skill of the wonderful
American, who was greater than CASITNIt and
Van Mattnion, the Lion-Kings, and whose
achievements threw Sur.mvair, the Irish
"Whisperer," in the shade. Still Mr. Ram
eschewed all public manifestations. He was
fishing for the patronage of Queen Vicroata,
and—she nibbled I Hearing much about Mr.
RiatlCY, and not finding any distinct account
of his performances in the newspapers, her
curiosity was so much excitedithat she did ex
actly what ho walled fOr—she commanded his
attendance at her palace,, to show how he
could g , witch the world with noble horse
manchlp," or rather, subdue the most fiery and
unmanageable horses.
Having pleased the Queen, by examples of
his art, tried upon some of her stud hitherto
looked upon as irretrievably wild • and Ill
tempered, Vicronth became his special 1114-*
tton, and, under her winddr. Illaxt became
the fashion. Young and bld were 'wild aflar,
him. The world believed that,hossing time
an unicorn, and he actually did tame a xebra.
People wanted to know his secret. Re °filmed
to sell ft. All ranks enrolled Mein - selves as
his pupils. and paid him a high price, cash ii
hand. He commenced teaching hOrtte.tamitli,
and is said to have sent home .£2fi,090 frem
England alone, many ladies being among his
pupils. He had proportionate success In Ire
land and Scotland. Then, going to Paris,
fortified with letters of introduction and
recommendation from Queen Yieronu.,
and the leading nobility of her kingdom, he
was especially made much of by Nheobsos
and Ecosars. His pecuniary harvest was
much smaller in Paris, however, than it had
been in London, or even in Edinburgh or
Dublin.
There was a degree of raystery about Mr.
Ranar's processes much calculated to whet
curiosity. There was almost as much prO
thus secrecy as presides at the Initiation of
a Freemason or a Son of Malta. No one ob
jected. If there were no restriction, Mr.
Rstistli secret weakd speedily irittopfro p
it was worth paying for. Therefore, each
pupil, on paying down his money, gave a
legal bond for the Sum of £5OO not to com
municate to others the knowledge imparted
to himself by .MrsRAREY. Thera was a great
desire to have the secretL particularly among
the ladies. In fact, those who did not go in
for it were "ram nantea."
Meanwhile, certain circus-people contended
that the secret was no secret—that others had
done what Mr. Ramer taught—and that they,
also, could make a horse Ito down at command.
Of course, they could do so, with a previously
well-trained 'animal. But it had been incon
testibly proved, before intelligent audiences
well acquainted with equitation, that Mr.
RAREr could tame, at the first effort, such a
notoriously hard customer as Cruiser, the ter
ror of grooms, or such a wild animal as tho
zebra, neither of which ho had seen before.
The man should bo fairly treated. He has re
markable power as a horse-tamer, and did not
exaggerate it in any advertisement or an
nouncement.
A few weeks ago, Mr. ROUTLEDGE, pub
lisher in London, obtained a small pam
phlet of instruction to his pupils, which
Mr. RAM had drawn up and had printed
while teaching his art in this country. Roux-
Lanus republished it for sixpence a copy.
The Illustrated Times also reprinted
it. Thus Mr. RABET'S market has been
spoiled. Called upon by the press to make a
statement, he has published a letter in The
Times in which he releases his pupils from the
penalty attached to their bond of secrecy, but
does not return any money to his pupils.
It seems doubtful whether it will be worth his
while to attempt to give further instructions
in England, where the impression is (and not
very fairly) that be “sold" his subscribers. .
Mr. BARRY'S actual letter is worth preserv
ing, because it clearly states his own case. It
is dated " Tatteraall's, July 6," and runs thus:
11 0 a my return from Paris, after an absence of
ten days, my attention has been drawn to several
letters which have appeared In the newspapers re•
waling the bond as to secrecy given by my sub
soribers at the time of entry. I beg now to inform
them, through the medium of your widely-ciroula
ted paper, that I at once and entirely release them
from the penalty attached to it, and sincerely re•
gra t that what was merely designed as a protection
to myself should have been the came of distal's.
faction to any of my pupils. As to the pamphlet
which has been so extensively circulated in
London without my knowledge or consent,
it was written by me three years ago,
immediately upon the discovery of my eye
: tem, and contains bat a meagre and impel..
! feet description of it as now praotised by me.
It was printed for private eiroulation in my native
State of Ohio, and I believe is rerfeetly unknown
in New York and the other cities of the United
States, as I never gave lessons on my.gilikeno cr
eeps in Ohio and Texas, where I passer,' length
of time experimenting on wild horses, mules, ao.
I do not believe that any book that ever was writ
ten out teeth this system eo well and fully as an
hour's lesson with personal observation. In con•
elusion, I beg to state that I have never instructed
any person, either in America or Europe, withcot
making thorn sign a bond, under a penalty, not to
divulge it,•and that the only copies of my pam
phlet ever before the world were those given to
each of my pupils in America when they received
their instructions. I remain, As.,
J. B. Pinky."
We shall take an opportunity of stating the
male points in Mr. RAREYN pamphlet. We
commend to public attention a highly inte
resting illustrated article, describing.o The
American Art of Taming Horses," which ap
peared In tho New York Tribune of Saturday,
and covers a pago of that Journal. It shows
a main part of RAnsir's secret to be—kindness
to the horse, and something
. like an appeal to
his sagacity and understanding, if we may use
the IMO word. It will bo remembered that
Pops spoke of the " half-reasoning elephant,"
and, indeed, various others of the brute crea
tion have occasionally displayed such very
remarkable intelligence, that ono might be
puzzled, at times, to answer the question
whether they did not think. Tho faculty of
memory is undoubtedly very common. Not
only horses, but dogs and cats, have a recol
lection of persons, places, and things. The
value of the carrier-pigeon, whose occupation
has been ruined by the electric telegraph,
arose front two sources, its swiftness of flight,
and that strong local recollection, which
enabled it Invariably to return home, no mat
ter how tar from that place it might have
been conveyed.
There evidently tenet be more in Mr.
Riaor's system than has yet been communi
cated to the public. Whether his system be
sew or old, original or borrowed, Is of small
importance. But nothing that wo have yet

period in Illinois.
From its admission in 1819 up to the campaign
of 18311, no State could have been more firmly De-
Mocratio than Illinois. The opposition of the Whig
party was, except In the north, merely nominal—

portions of the Stale the Democracy had it' all .
their own way. Illinois could not be °hailed

the great ohampion of the true principles of the
Party ?
There are, of course, three sets of men in
Illinois—the.rank Abolitionists, the Administra
tion party, a contemptible faction, whd. disregard
all the principles of Democracy, in order to secure
their short-lived salaries, and the great majority
of true Democrats and old-line Whigs who s laud
by the national prineiples of Senator Douglas.
Let no see what these principles are, as enunciated
In the admirable speeches of the Senator at Chi
cago, Springfield, Bloomington, and Clinton.
They constitute the bold, plain platform on
which we of the North may stand side by side
with our brethren of the South ; a few words will
suffice to explain them.
First comes the broad doctrine of State Sover
eignty, which allows every State to regulate its
own domestic institutions, and forbids it to inter
fere with those of others; this principle allows
Maine and New 3Cork to give to negroos the full
elective franchise ; it permits Illinois to determine
that no negro, free, or slave, shall inhabit its do
mains ; it gives full authority to Louisiana to say
that negroes shall exist within its limits in thu
condition of slaves. The same great principle al
lows every Territory fully and freely to determine,
its ultimate condition as to the relations of the in
ferior Mel. Can lie not all stand on this plat
form? especially when the Senator unequivocally
expresses his opinion that the exercise of Interfe
rence, on the part of ono State in the affairs of any
other, must always be attended solely with Ws
oblevons consequences; that the only safety is to
follow the doctrine that we all acknowledge to be
essential in private life—the golden maxim, "Let
every one mind his own business, and not inter
fere with that which does not omens him."
The nett great principle enunciated by the Sena
tor is, that our Government, our Constitution, our
revered Declaration of Independence, were intend
ed solely and entirely for the white race, That
since every man who sat in the Continental Con
gress, every delegate who signed the Declaration,
the Representative of every. State save one, who
voted fur our present Constitution, represented a
slave State. These men must have intended to de
clare the principle advocated by the Senator, else
they would have liberated their slaves, and also
have placed them and the Indians upon a perfect
footing of equality with themselves. They did
not do this. Washington, Jefferson, Madison,Mon
roe, and our Northern men failed to do so; they
must have taken the view entertained by Senator
Douglas, or they were dishonest. No true Ameri
can will may that they were dishonest ; therefore
they did not Intend to place these inferior races
on an equality with ourselves.
These are in few words the doctrines expressed
by Senator Douglas In his recent speed:ice. The
writer of this enjoyed the pleasure of hearing his
latest address—at Clinton. In this oration he not
oely boldly, like a lion, uttered his national send
ments of Democracy as I have already expressed
them, but met and fully refuted the charges
brought against him by his opponent, in reference
to a conspiracy with two Presidents of the United
States, and the entire Supreme bench, in the Dud
Scott matter. There was a majesty, a noble sim
plicity In his demand, and emphatic refutation,
which went to the hearts of his audience, and com
pletely crushed his antagonist who might have
been seen, by a keen observer, crouching in tho
crowd. even in the comparatively small place of
Clinton, thousands of the yeomanry congregated
to listen to their Senator; gray-haired men, ro
bust youth, matrons, blooming girls, wore there—
mothers lifted their children in their arms to catch
a glance at the man whom they had assembled to
honor; all hung upon his words, and watched every
movement of his countenance; those who came
prepossessed in his favor, went away confirmed In
their opinions; many who attended to scoff
and sneer, departed either entholastlo in his
favor, quietly determined that he was right, or
with ,that food for contemplation in their minds
which will finally bring them ever to the right
cause. None left without a feeling of admiration
for the candor and boldness of the man, and a sen
timent of pride that he belonged to the State of
Illinois. Such seems, fairly, to be the progress
which marks his steps; he never loses, but ever
gains ground. We are national men, here in the
far-off State of Illinojs; we are proud of our State
pOSItiOII, progress, and resources—but above
all, we are proud that we have a Sonator who bee
dared to etake everything in the oatmo of right,
justioe, and the Un ion, and we feet that the honor
of the State requires us to sustain him.

(florrespondence of The Press ]
Naw :Yomr, July 26, IBM
.My DEAR PRESS : Seated in ono of the luxu
rious parhirs of •the Gt. Nicholae, with the never
ceasing rumble of the omnibuses along Broadway
making a strange contrast with the scenes of quiet
and elevating beauty we have left but a few hours
since, I proceed to take your readers for a short
time longer among the beauties and attractions of
the Water Gap, and shall then bring them thus far
on our journey before we haiten northward in the
morning to join in the festivities and joyous re
unions of long-parted friends during Commence
ment week at Old Yale. We could have lingered
yet many days at the Gap, wandering through the
wooded paths which ascend its mountain sides, or
riding to longer distances in quest of new objects
of beauty, or gently rowing in the early morning
or beneath the silvery light of the moon over the
dark waters which flow so smoothly and steadily
.through the vast °left which divides the Blue
Mountain. But it is better to leave a scene of en
joyment, before satiety has wearied one, and to
look book upon it with the hope of returning at
some future time with a keener zest for its plea
sures. Time was pressing, and we must improve
the rapidly passing hours to the beet advantage and
hasten on our journey.
• Let us ascend once more the hill in front of the
house to Lake Lenape, ever calm and still, Its
smooth bright surface undisturbed by even a rip
ple, or turning short to the loft at the little ele
vation upon which stands the bowling alley, wander
through the woods, aiut up a more gentle ascent,
though still steoponough to unaccustomed ramblers
among the mountains, crossing a bright green
meadow which lies in a hollow of small extent,
hemmed in by the forest upon the mountain side,
and then ascending yet higher, come out upon the
rooky brow of the mountain some distance south of
the point whence we. were enjoying the view by
,the light of thosetting sun, at the close of my last
letter. Here we are upon Table Rook, which, with
aperpendioular rugged face toward the river, and
overlooking the valley, slopes with a gentle decli
vity westward—a broad surface of the bare rook,
with a few stunted pines and low bushes finding a
scanty growth among the seams and crevices which
'cross its surface. The bright glare of the morning'
sun now throws its brilliant• warming rays over
valley and hill-side, grassy meadow and waving
fields of grain, lighting up the dark bosom of the
stream beneath, and giving to the whole landscape
'a tone of joyous beauty. If we turn off westward,
through the woody, we soon come upon a winding
path whin loads down into a steep and shady glen,
through whose dark defile lies the course of a small
rivulet.
As we reach the bottom of the glen upon the
brink of tho stream, we see directly before us the
Goldin° Palls, where the water, spreading out into
a broader sheet as it runs over the edge of a rocky
'ledge, falls in a graceful, feathery sheet from a.
height of six or eight feet, and pausing a moment
among the recite which here form a deep basin at
the foot of the fall, rune bounding and dashing
down its rugged channel. This basin is called
:Venus' Bath, and is always filled with the purest,
'dearest, freshest water, tempting one to repose in
its cool, refreshing depths. Above the edge of
the fall, the rooky bed of the stream slopes up.
ward at an angle of Borne fifteen or twenty de;
grace in a smooth and slippery ascent, over which
the water glides hurriedly, yet quietly along, be
fore it leaps down the fall and into Venus' Bnth
below. Ascending by the side of this eloping fall
WO cross the rivulet upon the natural stepping
stones which obstruct its passage, and see the
stream descending from a point higher up its
course, over rooks completely carpeted with the
softest covering of moss, of every shade. This part
of the stream is most appropriately named Moss
Cataract. The light of the sun scarce penetrates
through the thick foliage which shuts in from
'above this charming spot; end. among its cool,
dark recesses one may find many a comfortable
resting place where, with book in hand, he can
repose in quiet enjoyment, undisturbed by any
sound except the gentle rippling and bubbling of
the rivulet as it leaps over its rocky bed.
Ilia it is evening again. Let us go down the
birl', , ;•Re back of the'bete i r and; crossing the rail
road track, descend to the brink'of the itieam,
step into a row-boat, and, pushing off from the
Shore, pull lazily down through the Gap. The
rays of the letting sun gild the tops of the eastern
range of mountains, while the valley beneath, and
the steep acclivities of the western side of the
river, have long since lost his light. The surface
of the water is undisturbed by the slighest ripple,
and the deep, dark stream rolls sluggishly onward
In its ours°, as we urge the boat onward with
gentle strait& of the oars. And now we reach a
bend in the river about half a mile from our start
ing point, where it turns abruptly to the eastward,
and after flowing onward in that direction half a
mile farther, turns again to the southward.. As
you turn eastward, at the first bond in the stream,
directly in front rises the bold, rugged face of
the mountain on the New Jersey side, towering
up to the height of about sixteen hundred feet,
its craggy and lofty brow crowned with a luxu
riant forest growth. The sun has by this time
gone down in the west, and the shades of evening
are fast deepening over the whole landscape. We
pull down around the second bend in the river,
and upon the right, rising up from the narrow
strip of meadow which hero skirts the water's
edge, the lofty summit of the mountain on the
Pennsylvania side stands out boldly defined against
the western sky atilt light with the lingering
gleams of departing day. The mountain on the
New Jersey side comes down close to the edge of
the water, and the opposite faces of the two cliffs
look is if they bad been rent violently asunder;
and were some mighty force to bring them to
gether again, as if they would lit into each other
with their rugged projections and jagged seams,
and form a barrier to the further flow of the river,
until deepening and swelling out over all the face
of the valley qprthward for miles and miles far
beek, the vest lake would surge against the con
fining ridge of the Blue Mountain, and then roll
ing over the edge in a gradually increasing
volume, plunge down the mountain-side in a vast
cataract. A short distance below the Gap, the
river shoals again, and divided bye small island,
runs swiftly downward over a rift, and bubbles and
ripples.over its reeky bed,.formieg a rapid which
prevents our further progress In that direotion.
As we turn our bow up stream the eastern sky Is
lighted by the silvery beams of the moon just rift.
log over the brow of the mountain. As she ascends
higher and higher, a flood of mellow radiance il
luminates the dark and shadowy °beam, and
glances from the smooth surface of the water.
The black and sombre mountain sides, not yet
reached by the light, frown down in sullen gloom
on either band. Not a sound can be heard, save
the gentle plash of the water against the bowel the
boat as she glides along, or the dip of the oar die:
turbing the smooth surface with spreading circlets
of ripples. Pull leisurely now beneath the gentle
light of the moon, each stroke of the oar sending
the boat onward to a now and more beautiful
scene; the jutting crags, silvery in the moonlight,
casting great black shadows over the foliage be
neath;
here and there a solitary tree rising above
the surrounding forest stands boldly out, each
branch and twig clearly defined against the pure
deep blue sky; the bare and rugged face of the
eliffs checkered over with a thousand varying
lights and shadowe ; and as we turn the band
again the ripples higher up the stream gleaming
and dancing over the rocks in the silvery light,
and high up on the bank, set deep in the dark
green forest of the mountain side, looms out the
broad white hotel, the lights twinkling fremlits
windows paled beneath the brighter radiance of
the moon. A few vigorous strokes, and we era at
the landing place ; and ascending to the hotel, lot
as go out on the beak piazza, and lighting a cigar,
enjoy the beauty of the scone as we rest after the
exertion of rowing.
We found ourselves compelled to leave the Gap,
with many places of interest and beauty unvisited,
and with a firm intention of returning at some
future time. There is one advantage which the
traveller in Bean% of the beautiful and picturesque
will appreciate at the Water Gap. The scenery is
not disfigured by the works of man; and though
the whistle of the locomotive and roar of the cam
is heard through the valley, yet the construction
of the railroad has interfered but little with the
natural scenery of the place. on Sunday evening,
after tea, we ascended to the top of thO mountain
in front of the hotel, and sat for an hour or more,
enjoying the sweet ealmewhich, unbroken by any
° harsher sound than tho gentle rustling of the foli-
age, or the distant ripple of the river, rested upon
all the face of nature ; and as the shadows deepened,
and the hour of evening service approached, up
from the valley beneath us stela...the sound of tho
Ausnicus
church-going bell, its mellowed ring falling sooth
ingly on the ear as it summoned the worshippers.
A more lovely scene has hardly ever been epread
out before me. The whole of the Sabbath is, in
deed, here a day of rest. There is a neat brick
ohuroll within it short distance of the hotel,
where service is regularly held morning and eve
ning. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Howell, preached
yesterday morning, when we attended. Ills ser
mon was not "an eloquent discourse," in the
hackneyed phrase of newspaper oriticism. It was
an earnest, simple, practical exposition of the
truth, delivered without pretension, yet appropri
ately, and showed that the heart and soul of the
preacher was in he work, and that he felt the
force df the truth he was striving to bring home to
rhobeartoof hle harm.
.• There is bit little formality' or' fashion at the
Waterllap. But to those who wish to enjoy some
of the richest beautled of nature, where they can
have the comforts of a well kept hotel, with a
most obliging host, and have the freest scope to in
dulge their own flukey anclpleasure as to, the dis
position of their time, unfettered by the formal
restraints of fashion, a few dayi at Biodhoact's
Kittatinny Douse - cannot fail to afford pleasant
memorleiof 'their sojeurn. It is is eontemplation
to erect a new hotel upon Sunset Rill, at a higher
point on the mountain than the present house,
and to have it completed in time for the neat see
son. The present building Is hardly large enough
to accommodate all who wish to avail themselves
of the advantages of the plaoe.
To4tiy, at two o'clock, we tools the oars on the
Delaware, Lackawanna, arid. Weitern road, and
loft the Water Gap. Tho broad ivage track runs
all the way to Elizabethport; lint beyond' the
junction with the Now Jeisei , Central road,. about
-khirty miles below the Gap, is used for the freight
and coal trains only. At the junction paasengers
change ears, and take the train upon the Central

the valleys, and over the hills of the upper and
western part of the State, then down through'the

south branch of the Raritan river is creased upon
a bridge fourteen hundred andilfty feet long, at
an elevation of one hundred' and' five five feet above
the water. At Elisabethport, which wo reached a
little after six o'clock, the steamboat Red Jacket
was in waiting to convoy us to New York. The
sail through Newark Bay, and upthe inner bay
of New York harbor, was delightful 'in the cool of
the evening, and the braoing sea-breeze from the
Narrows was gratefully refreshing after our rijo.

Crtgasox, July 25th, 1858.
EDITOR OF THR PRESS :—While the town'seems
deserted,and the fashionable and business thorough
fares of the city suffer alike an unusual and en
foreed'solitude, there is a . glorioue tide of humanity
flowing to the shrines where the goddess of health
holds high and' holy . worship.' The . doctrine of
compensation, which rune through all theyamifica.
tione of the universe, is thus' abundantly' end hap.
pily illustrated.. The decay of animal economy,
which results from the debilitating action of the
artificialities of city life is made up by the regene
rating and invigorating influence of, the blessed
country—compelling the rejoiced soul to murmur
again and again the words of the poet—" Man
made the town, but God made the country."
Go where you will, upon this continent, amid
the wealth of natural beauty so lavishly mattered
on every hand, and you will find no spot nearer
heaven than this, where the atmosphere and the
surroundings act more astonishingly upon the
spirits. Cresson, perched upon one of the highest
peaks of the central range of the, Alleghenies, is.
nearly twenty-five hundred' . feet above the ocean
level, giving a mountain-banal) in wooing proximity
with the oloude. To leave the low, alluvial Mile
near the Delaware, and to plunge into an atoms
phone so essentially changed by vilification, is
positively equivalent to a visit to another planet.
The elasticity sr the rental envelope communicates
a corresponding lightness and gaiety to the feel
ings of him who moves within its influence. You
can see the emits of happiness on every face pre
ceding naturally the blooming blush of health.
Here are at present two hundred strangers from
all parts gathered at the Mountain [louse of the
Allegheny Health Institute, and I will challenge
the most bigoted believer in the stoical philosophy
to pink out from the number a single . face which
does not show good humor. The atmosphere nets
like champagne, and unlike that older decoction
leaves no headache the day after. It is a conti
nual stimulant, making cheeks to glow like rose
buds under vernal showers, and the eyes to brighten
like diamatklinder:the punning hand, ef,the la
pidary. The pale phYslognointea, whieh'como here'
from the fashionable female boarding-Mhool peni
tentiaries, are no longer telling tales of the secret
action of decay's relentless finger: They change
as if by magic beneath the glorious ministrations
of the mountain. They fairly drink in inspira
tion from the pure fountain of Ifygela, which mums
sparkling like or stal gems from the mountain's
able. here, if any whore, the soul goes out irt•
stinetively to commune with the Infinite and the
Eternal, and to utter forth a hearty benison of gra
tulation to the 'Giver of Good for the blessings
which breathe in the air and murmur through the
forests of the mountain-top. Tigre was a grand
significance in the erection of altars by the old
time world upon the mountain-summits. They
whose pious faith raised those alter stones know
whore tho Divinity made his home.
It is no wonder, then, that every soul that comes
here gives Instinctive dismissal to the thousand
little worrying cares vrhioh, in a lower atmospheric
level, smite the spirit, as the French have it,
d coup a' epingle. Grumblers are transmuted at
once into laughing phifosophers, whom Heraelitus
might envy. In all the company, the one idea
uppermost seems to be, how to give most pleasure
to eaoh other, and how to rob from Nature the
moat enjoyment. And of doing's°, there is no lack
of means about Cresson,
First in grandeur anti impressive beauty is the
boundless wilderness of shade which lies em•
bosomed beneath the gigantic trees of a muob
earlier world of bustling humanities than we now
find. By a single step almostwo wander into the
heart of the mountain solitude. The primeval
forest is a revelation of the divine, and strikes the
heart of him who first ventures amid its silent re-
IMBEIMI with a reverential awe. The feeling IS also
tempered with a sentiment of thankfulness that
we have at last reached the spot where Nature has
been left to herself. Bore lie the decaying forms,
just as they fell, of the proud monarchs of the
wood, who in the centuries of the far distrust past
towered in grand sublimity over the panorama of
beauty at its feet. And here, elect beside them,
as if in living sympathy with the dead, stand the
legitimate inheritors of their sovereignty. What
grand, delightful rambles the Cresson-dweller can
enjoy !
And there are drives for those who still cling to
city reminiscences, and roads whioh' run through
perfect realms of loveliness. There is the old turn
pike—monument of the ante-diluvinn period of
singe-coach development--which leads you, one
way; to Ebensburg, the capital of tho county of
Oambria; and in the other direction across the
summit to Hollidaysburg. I have not time to ut
ter new apostrophes to the beauties which hang
, In
sylvan freshness on either route. I will , not here
tell of the inevitable trout-supper at Erarts's "
where the trout glide, violimised in pools, kept
waiting for the hungry tooth of the invading for
eigner—of this chapter of gustatory delight I will
not now relate.
I have another chapter of romanco to unfold,
which betel upon another road, that - which leads to
"the shrine of Loretto"--and, by the way, this
same avenue Is to me enshrined forever by the
memories which cluster round it.
You have heard of Count Gentile', Sao Russian
hermit, who made his home in these mountain felt
nooses. He died after a life of eccentric benevo
lonco and Christian charity, and his remains lie
buried, placed there by good Catholics, in a gra
nite mausoleum at a village five miles distant from
Cresson, and known as Loretto. the population of
the place is warmly Cathollo, and the ovidenoo of
the predominant faith stands conspicious in the
landsoape. Here, crowning the brow of a hill on
your right as you approach from Cresson, is the
cathedral, a large massive brink building, with
the ornamental tracery of Gothic myetioism, in
front of which is Galitzin's tomb. In close
proximity is the convent, where those bound with
vows may look out on a prospect which might well
lead the soul to heaven. On the outer side of the sim
plo lattice-fence, which serves as enclosures to these
devotional homes, stands the symbol of Christian
faith—a rude wooden cross six or seven foot high,
with a crucifix in a niche to call the wayfarer to
communion with the Highest. Out of the Catholic
countries of Europe, I have never seen this aug
, gestiee incentive to worship, and, Protestant as I
am in my feelings, I can declare, with truth, that
this feature of religious progress struck ale with
pleasurable emotion. At the bass of the gentle
elope, which the convent and the church watch
over, lies the village of Loretto, in a valley nest ;
and on the opposite side, as if guarding it from
profane footsteps, rises.the Catholic monastery.
Hero a brotherhood of monks, thirty-five or forty
in number, under the fatherly care of a Superior,
pursue, in rustic quiet, their theological studies,
and suporietend the eollekiate education of sixty
or seventy students, who come here from Retakes
far distant as lowa and bilesissippi.
Thus mob of Loretto, and its geography, and
its edifices. But it is the rood which leads to it
which, as I have Intimated already, has reason to
live in my memory, and If the long preface has
not wearied you, I will toll you why.
A stranger, not to the manor born, I was, It
must be confessed, unprepared for the good nature
and amiability whioh pervade the atmosphere of
Cresson; and, you may be sure, I was startled to
a awed aurptise when an invitation to two fate eo•
journers of this mountain paradise, to visit the
Witte Of Loretto, ROA tuetintly aeoepted. Qom,

Imagine thredas happy spirits as ever laughed
and romped together, in the primitive eonveyanee
of the country, winding a romantic way over hill
and dale, "'mid wood and coppice," drinking, in
the feast of lovelinees which Nature epread with
lavish hand on every side. Picture, of you can,
two as lovely girls es mountain vapory and air

mounted upon tho country wagon, with a cavalier
sustained by their mutual kindness--a sort of very

touches of pen-painting, bring before you the pic
ture new so fresh in my memory, Yon can; with
but little imagination, catch the Inspiration of
the scemr ... and hear, the glorious bursts of laughter
whioh startled the primeval forest, as our party
.threaded the serpentine , widdinga of the road:
It was near evening when we turned our backs
on Loretto, and bade adieu to its queer country
inn and its simple-minded host: The villagers
looked from many a window, as we pissed in Inno
cent wonder at our style of travelling ; and,' with
a feeling of regret that we weir nearing the end of
our delightful jaunt, we slowlyeat our faces home
ward. Midway to Oregon, as we readied the'sum
mit of ono of the many hillowhich add infinite
variety' to the landscape, , a rare revelation of
magnificence buret upon our view, in the glories of
the setting sun. As we turned to it, tht3 horizon,
broken by mountain peaks, crowned' with every
imaginable tint of ' foliage, seemed 'on fire with
golden light, and es the full radianee softened to
a milder glow, and the folks leaveiput on the
evening's sombre hue in the app oohing twilight,
our hearts, beat In unislon, an underwent a cre
puscular soberness: In the hush of the eleMents
which scented to be Nature's silent worship of the
Infinite, our spirits revelled in . a happy Wm,
which was unohanged until we neared the Moun
tain Homo.
As we looked toward it, resting as it does in a
piditiresque sylvan bower, "fair Dian rose above
the hills." This eight was the fitting contusion of
our jaunt. The rays of tbe full-moon, undlnimed
by the mists of lower altitudes, streamed, atiown
the mountain side M a gush of divine offulg4ice.
Beneath the influence plea/Unit fancies came troop
ing like ministering angels to our wrapt spirits;
and we mutually pledged each other to prey for a
renewal of such entrancing gratification.
Excuse tho prolixity—but who could resist that
besetting sin with such temptations? frankly
admit that I am fairly won s .'by beauty ; and if it
captivate by mountain glory and byfemale oharm,
'the heart must speak out of its fulness.
For the present, truly yours,

We publish beloir a letter front Mr. Robert Lyt
ton, the son of Sir . Edward 'Beller Lytton and
Lady,Lytton, which fully corroborates the state
meat we made a few days since. We rejoice that
a - compromise ham taken Owe, and a great nubile
scandal been avoided. Lady Lytton ig said to bo
perfectly satisfied with the arrangements that have
been made:
To the Editor of the Observer.-8m :.As the
eon of Lady Buliver Lytton, with the bestright to
speak on her behalf, and so obviously with the
best moans of :information Rojo warrant the hops
that my simple assertion it once believed
in the matter to whieli T . iiiittipollita to refer, I
beg to say that ,the statethents
.whieh have ap
peered in . some of.tho public lonieials are.eaag
gerated and distorted, and ''that they are cal•
eulated to convoy to the public mind impressions
the most erroneous and unjust, As was; natural,
I put myself in constant oommtnoloation with my
mother, and with the gentleman with whose
family, in his private house, elle was plated, (for
I beg distinctly to state she Wad mover for a mo
ment taken to a lunatic, asylum,) and I carried
out the ihjunotions of my father, who confided
to me implleitly :every arrangement which my
affection 'could suggest, and enjoined me to
avail myself of the advice of Lord Shaftesbury
in whatever was judged beet and kindest to Lady
Lytton.
My mother is now with me, free from all re
straint, and about, at her own wish, to travel for a
short time, in company with myself and a female
friend and relation of her own selection.
From tho moment my father felt compelled to
authorize those steps which hive been made the
subject of so 11111011IIIIBTOMBOTaBt1011,:bin anxiety
was to obtain,the opinion of the most experienced
and able physioians, in order that my mother
should not be subject to restraint ono militant
longer than was strictly justifiable. Such was his
charge to me.
The certificates given by Dr. Forbes Winslow
and Dr. Coolly aro subjoined ; and I ought to
add that Dr.-Vaulty was the physician whom my
'father had requested to. Bee Lady .Lytton ; that
Dr. Forbes Winslow *as conkulted by my mother's
legal advisers ; and I felt anxious to obtain the
additional authority of the Opinion of the latter
gentleman, and requested my friend, Mr. Edwin
James, to place himself in communication with
him. I trust that Baeh journals as have given
publicity to partial and inaccurate statements will
do me the justice to publish this communication,
to which I need add no more than to say that this
painful matter has been arranged, as it ought to
be, by the members of the family,' - whom it exclu
sively regards.
I have the honor to he, Sir, your most obedient
servant, . ROBERT B. LTTTON.

Destructive Fire in Chicago
From the Times of Saturday last.]
About one o'clock yesterday morning flames were
discovered issuing from a shed in the roar of the
Phoenix House, No. 126 Van Buren street, between
Clark and Griswold streets. The walls were evi
dently saturated with some inflammable material,
as the fire spread with unoontroluble fury.
The buildings in tilt& vicinity were closely
packed together, and wore mostly light wooden
structures. This, with the largo amount of liquors
stowed there, made most inviting material for the
fire. The firemen worked well, and an immense
quantity of water was thrown on the buildings,
but before the conflagration could be stayed, it had
destroyed the Phoenix llouso, a four-story frame,
an adjoining shop in which the liquor was stored,
the Exchange Rouse, a two-story building, Nos.
126 to 134, inolusive, on Van Buren street, and a
email unoccupied building, and the Jennings Boum
on Griswold street.
The owners of the buildings and the losses were
as follows : Phu:nix House, No. 120, occupied by
Patrick McConnell. LORI $1,200 in the Chiang°
Mutual. Mr. McConnell had $l,OOO worth of
brandy in en unoccupied harbor's shop, adjoining
the house, which was destroyed.
Exchange mouse, No. 130-132, occupied by John
Maloney Loss $1,200, insured $5OO in the Chi
cago Mutual.
Luise Bowe, No. 131, occupied by Jacob Lafeo.
Lou $1.500 ; insured $OOO.
All three of the ebovo houses were owned by
Jacob Dillon, and valued at $5,000. Insuranoe
officers took an inventory yesterday of the pro
perty, and a policy for $3,000 was to be made out
this morning at 9 o'clock.
Th e Jennings Rouse, on Griswold street, was
owne d by Ballard and Wilcox. The building was
worth about $ll,OOO, damage $3,500, insurance
$4,000 In the Merchants' of Philadelphia, and
Phconix of Dartford, Connecticut. It was unoccu
pied, hut Martin Dodge, formerly of the Sherman
Homo, was to take possession in a few days. The
losses are intimated to be from $14,000 to $20,000
In Not-Orleans, on the 27th ult., a shocking
affair occurred, by which two children, one a baby.
end the other a child about three years old, lost
their lives. The mother, a woman named Mrs.
Martin Healy, went to market in the morning,
leaving her husband and her two ohildren in bed.
Afterwards the husband wont out to the stable
and remained there a abort time. In the mean
time, a led earns In and got playing with some
matches, and by-and-by set on fire the mosquito
bar of the bed whore the children were. The
alarm, of course, shortly reached the ears of the
father, and ho did whet could be done under the
eiroumstanoes, but his efforts, unhappily, did not
result In laud good, for both children soon' after
